Welcome to the accuDEXA support area. Here
you can find the product
manual, and more information relating to the use
of the accuDEXA.
1. What type of technology does the accuDEXA use?
The accuDEXA utilizes dual-energy x-ray absorbtiometry (DEXA),
the standard in bone densitometry, to assess the bone mineral
density (BMD) of the middle phalange of the third finger.
2. How much does the accuDEXA cost?
CALL FOR PRICING. Financing is available through Lone Oak
Medical Technologies.
3. Who is qualified to operate an accuDEXA?
All MD's and radiation technologists can operate the accuDEXA.
In many states, nurse practitioners and other properly trained
individuals can operate the device as well.
4. What is the billing code and how much do insurance
companies reimburse?
Medicare and most private insurance companies use CPT code
77081 (peripheral bone densitometry) to identify the accuDEXA.
Medicare reimburses $35-$50, depending upon locality. Private
insurers reimburse an average of $75 for this exam.
5. How quickly can I get one?
Delivery is guaranteed within 4 weeks.
6. How well is the accuDEXA correlated to the hip and
spine?
The finger is correlated as well to the hip as the hip is
to the spine.
7. What is the precision and accuracy of the test?
The precision in clinical subjects is within 1%. The accuracy
error (SEE=1.8%) is lower than other peripheral and axial
techniques 2.
8. Does finger BMD predict fracture?
There is clear evidence showing that the finger helps predict
generalized fracture as well as other peripheral and axial
techniques.
9. What are the dimensions?
The accuDEXA occupies less than 2 square feet of space.
10. Do I need to calibrate the accuDEXA?
The machine is self-calibrating. A phantom is available
for quality control purposes.
